Gap widens between Riley and Moore.

The Press-Register/University of South Alabama poll showed Riley as the choice of 69 percent of the likely GOP primary voters surveyed. Moore drew 20 percent support.
The results, gathered last Saturday through Thursday, continue a trend from recent polls that have shown Riley widening his base of support heading into the June 6 primary.
"The main thing is that the electorate already knows Moore," USA political scientist Keith Nicholls said. "If he were an unknown candidate trying to get the word out, it might be different. But voters know who Moore is and what he stands for, and the overwhelming majority rejects his candidacy.

Dr. William Stewart, a professor emeritus of political science at the University of Alabama, said none of Riley's current and prospective opponents - former state Chief Justice Roy Moore in the Republican primary June 6, and either Democrat Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley or former Gov. Don Siegelman on Nov. 7 - will beat him.
"At this point, I don't think so," Stewart said. "Right now he's enjoying the power of incumbency."
In polling by the Press-Register in Mobile, Riley leads Moore, Baxley and Siegelman by 44, 16 and 33 points, respectively.
